I got laid off from Amazon and it took me around 4 months to finally land a job last summer. I did a shotgun approach to applications and make track. I completed 400 applications but only interviewed for 12 companies before getting an offer.

I'm in a similar situation, I do not have a degree but have around a decade of professional experience.

I did recently talk to our tech recruiter and he said we average about 1k applicants a day in each job post and about 95% of them are AI generated slop resumes and his leadership wants him to review every application.
I think the 777 landing gear warning is based on flap position, eg flaps 0 you won't get a warning, but you will probably get a GPWS configuration warning instead!
I'll ask it first: are missiles still the biggest cause of death in an airplane?

I’m leaning toward no EMAS. I found a facility directory that lists the size of the runway-end safety area where EMAS would be but it has no description of any EMAS system.

https://aim.koca.go.kr/eaipPub/Package/2022-09-07-AIRAC/html...

I’m not sure EMAS would have helped though. I believe EMAS relies on the weight of the aircraft bearing on the relatively small contact area of the tires/wheels to punch thru the unreinforced concrete. The weight of the aircraft distributed across the area of the belly may not be sufficient to break through the surface.
I was about to ask if the explanation of floating point numbers was using Avogadro's number on purpose, but then I realized the other number was Planck's constant.
What I want is very simple: I want software that doesn't send anything to the Internet without some explicit intent first. All of that work to try to make this feature plausibly private is cool engineering work, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with implementing a feature like this, but it should absolutely be opt-in.

Trust in software will continue to erode until software stops treating end users and their data and resources (e.g. network connections) as the vendor's own playground. Local on-device data shouldn't be leaking out of radio interfaces unexpectedly, period. There should be a user intent tied to any feature where local data is sent out to the network.

So why didn't Apple just simply ask for user permission to enable this feature? My cynical opinion is because Apple knows some portion of users would instantly disallow this if prompted, but they feel they know better than those users. I don't like this attitude, and I suspect it is the same reason why there is an increasing discontent growing towards opt-out telemetry, too.
I don't think you got my point.

Perhaps I should have originally been clearer, but I have no clue what these "brain cycles" that keep being mentioned are. If it's some kind of CPU analogy, brains and CPUs are nowhere near analogous in how they work. The brain is an extremely complex system, whose mechanisms we're far from understanding fully and whose activities are mostly unconscious and subconscious processes.

In the context of our discussion, energy expenditure is not really the relevant feature. The more useful "index" would be the "perceived (i.e. conscious) cognitive workload". One is addressed with caloric intake, the other has more explicit psychological ramifications.

It may have been presumptuous of me, but cognitive workload is what I thought GP really meant by "brain cycle" and that's what I was addressing.

The point I was trying to convey is that the brain is very good at moving chunks of work away from conscious processes to subconscious ones (i.e. away from perceived load) through various optimizations. Usually, exposing the brain to deliberate and repetitive tasks will tend to develop certain tacit skills (subconscious shortcuts).

Another subtler point, was that an easy mistake when evaluating how much cognitive work a tacit skill actually demands, is to appreciate it from the perspective of someone who lacks said skill.

I dont think Russia was threatened by Ukraine, but NATO and more specifically the US.

How?

What specific steps did the US/NATO take in your view, that were equivalent to "putting your hand in a cage with the rabid dog"?

Or per your other post, tell us, please -- how, exactly, was it "pointing a gun" at Russia?

Also per your other post:

My point is that the current situation was entirely predictable, and in fact, it was widely predicted.

Okay - so who predicted what, and when?

Tell us please where they said: "If the US/NATO does X, there will be war" and then the US/NATO followed that up by doing X.

With careful attention to what X, actually, and in fact, was.

And what actually happened afterwards.
Makes me wonder if we should just mail in our applications by snail mail at this point.

I'm quite happy with Dell wireless keyboards, that I got as cast-offs. One is a KM7321W. A drawback is that their peripheral manager (which allows you to do things like reassign keyboards and mice to the little dongles) only seems to run on Dell machines. They've also got Bluetooth.

If nothing else, they come with Dell machines, so if you're in a typical corporate environment, somebody might have one and let you try it.
I think you'd enjoy this.

While I sympathize with your broader point about gig worker wages, I'm a little confused about joco's role in the situation. They're providing a service to the workers. They're not paying them -- the workers are paying joco. What do you suggest their role in the system should be?
I've been running a private mail server since the early 00s, spam protection has actually improved drastically in the past ten years or so. For the most parts, SPF and dkim make it very easy for servers to identify scam, for everything else rspamd and clamd seem to take care of the rest.

If you don't want to run a completely custom setup, there's projects like mailcow out there that can do the heavy lifting for you.

I really don't see a quantitative or qualitative difference between the gmail experience and mine, with the caveat that my setup doesn't label ham from other private mail servers as spam (arguably a good thing)
I am bit bit confused: Data is being sent to Apple, in such a way that it can not be traced back to the user. Apple does some processing on it. Then somehow magically, the pictures on your phone are updated with tags based on Apple's processing....but Apple doesn't know who you are.....
Likely at the very back, which is nominally the safest place to be on a plane.
This is just the first pass. There are second pass strategies that could improve and are even more insidious:
- review your generated CV pre-submission, make changes, do this a lot. Eventually you'll have a training set to fine-tune the model
- throw 100-200 CVs at a job and see what sticks. That's your training set for that job. Now you have tuned the hiring manager's preferences. Follow up with your actual CV. Side benefit is it will jam up other candidates.

An arms race is afoot

You should be able to train/full-fine-tune (i.e. full weight updates, not LoRA) a much larger model with 96GB of VRAM. I generally have been able to do a full fine-tune (which is equivalent to training a model from scratch) of 34B parameter models at full bf16 using 8XA100 servers (640GB of VRAM) if I enable gradient checkpointing, meaning a 96GB VRAM box should be able to handle models of up to 5B parameters. Of course if you use LoRA, you should be able to go much larger than this, depending on your rank.
> It ought to be up to the individual user to decide their own tolerance for the risk of privacy violations.

It's a recurring theme in the modern IT industry that the user can somehow never trusted to take their own responsibility for anything. Like, can I please not have the "added security" on my Android phone where it would sometimes ask me for the pattern instead of the fingerprint? I know my own risks, thank you very much, Google. Same for macOS occasionally making me enter the password instead of letting me unlock with touch ID. Same for a bunch of other random software treating me as a complete technologically illiterate idiot with no way to opt out of this hell.

Remember how our devices used to serve us, not the other way around?
My reasoning is that eligibility is a prerequisite for entitlement. I believe eligible is defined as meeting some criteria for, not necessarily being chosen though that could be a criteria. I agree they have a right to, however entitlement implies to me that the person has invested some time and resources in asserting their right. Whereas eligible means only that the right to something exists, if it were to be asserted.

Currently there's Ivanchuk, who is good enough to beat anyone but has no stamina so can't win tournaments reliably enough to be world champion.
I hear you, and yes old school solution sounds absurd, but I suspect interview cheating will be on par with game cheating. Even if you install kernel level cheat protection systems the game cheater's still find ways around them.

Rude comment. I know how to write SQL.
I want to agree but it has happened before, and with the stress of some other failure it’s not going to be impossible…but it should be super rare.
I do wish this article had talked about SPF.
I didn't say it, but I agree the rules are silly. However, they are what they are.

What I was saying is that I think Magnus was protesting, and doing it as a publicity stunt. He didn't forget anything. He didn't expect to be given a pass.

And FIDE also weren't being dicks by enforcing the current rules.

Right but TechCrunch is fairly well known to be pay to publish and this felt like a puff piece for the company. Just surprising because I don’t think the economics would work out in a business like this. Like I already said, it’s a fine business but fairly local and not too much if any of a most.
There is a way to perform processing on encrypted data so the result is also encrypted and the person doing the processing never knows anything about the data that was processed on or the result (which can only be decrypted by the user with the original encryption keys)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption

> Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without first having to decrypt it. The resulting computations are left in an encrypted form which, when decrypted, result in an output that is identical to that produced had the operations been performed on the unencrypted data. Homomorphic encryption can be used for privacy-preserving outsourced storage and computation. This allows data to be encrypted and outsourced to commercial cloud environments for processing, all while encrypted

And the way the data comes back to you is via the third-party relay which knows your IP but nothing else
I am confident some of the stock advisor websites are doing the same thing. Just sending out random advice and collecting subscriptions from the winners.
Yes, I wanted to use meaningful floating point examples instead of random numbers. You get a gold star for noticing :-)
As someone who writes a lot of java (mostly for android) without any plugins I'm curious what about Java you think requires them?
That’s was probably the confusion I had. I figured every lengthy piece like this one was paid for but then I was thinking I don’t understand how this would benefit the company u less they are raising money and at that point I don’t see the economics playing out to take funding.
> if you're going to evaluate the security risk of a feature

I wouldn't characterize that as the point of my blog post. It's primarily about user consent, or lack thereof.

> and then end up on the front page of HN for said security risk

I have no control over that. I didn't even submit the article to HN.

> Apple's list of Security releases is long and storied. By comparison, the Solana Saga Web3 phone's list of security releases is short and succinct. Therefore, the Solana Saga must be more secure and has better security than an Apple device!

This is a red herring. I wasn't comparing Apple security to any other company's security. I was merely pointing out the possibility of bugs and vulnerabilities in Apple's new feature.

> Other features are difficult to evaluate efficacy, so you release and collect feedback instead of advertising and setting false expectations.

Well, I've now given my feedback on the new feature.

> Similar to Feature value, that audience of that statement is your average person (read: does not read/post on hacker news). Based off the your pedigree, I feel as though you probably know better

I'm not sure I understand. Are you claiming that Apple, in its support document, is deliberately mischaracterizing Lockdown Mode?

> But I don't think it's particularly beneficial to any discourse to 1. Imply that you are evaluating security risk

As I've said above, I wasn't.

> 3. Ignore relevant information from said article

I didn't ignore the relevant information from said article. I read the article, but some of the technical details are beyond my current knowledge.

> make an uninformed decision

What uninformed decision are you talking about?

> 4. Be surprised when someone says you made an uninformed decision

I'm surprised because I have no idea what "uninformed decision" you mean.

> 5. Imply the only way to make an informed decision would be to be an expert in the relevant fields from the technical article

I didn't imply that at all. To the contrary, I insisted that the decision to enable the feature should be up to the user, not up to Apple.
This article? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16058920
They tend to.

Agreed, and not just politics, too little thought and reflection period.

Fear will override almost anything, which is why we're being pounded with it from every angle. Time away maybe, disconnected.
I bet it's some bullshit like, "bikeshare businesses" have to display advisories on the app to tell people not to ride on the sidewalk and to use helmets.
I don't see how the article is pretending anything. They had platform issues with C++ (portability and usability on the platforms they supported), and switching to Rust fixed those issues but gave them a different set of platform issues (they could no longer support Cygwin).
Yeah, we might quibble about what the default value of the toggle should be, but them adding settings for minor features like this is absolutely a good thing, and very much a sign that they're not trying to hide things.

If anything, the lesson Apple might take from this could be "adding the settings toggle was a bad idea, because nobody would have cared about this at all otherwise".
Probably because they are after a lot of fast, local storage, and _that_ is where rented ML infra providers will sting you.

Edit: could also just be more-money-than-sense. Never discount stupidity.
The thing that really annoys me is that batteries in most phones are indeed replaceable, but so many people just trash their phone when the battery life gets bad. Sure, many/most of these phones don't have a user replaceable battery, but even for high-end phones you can get the battery replaced for under $100 (and that's on the high end; for many you can get it done for half that).

I don't know if this is an education problem or what. Maybe manufacturers make it less obvious that you can get batteries replaced, because doing so would hurt sales of new phones. I dunno.

Sure, in an ideal world standardized batteries would be available off the shelf, and regular people could replace theirs with standard or even no tools. But honestly, I don't think the world we live in is that terrible when it comes to this.
In addition to the ChatGPT’s search, the advanced voice model also supports web search, making it even easier to search.
I remember that bug. Because I could not control what CPU my customers were running on, I had to add special code in the library to detect the bad FPU and execute workaround code (this code was supplied by Intel).

I.e. Intel's problem became my problem, grrrr

Not when the involved makers are incentisized otherwise.

Makers have the freedom to submit better options in the future. But it can't be the other way around.

I'm waiting now for Bluetooth to also have it's USB-C moment, and force every consumer device to have their core functionality accessible through a standardized communication protocol.

We'd get makers to submit better open specs, instead of the situation we have now.

11 out of last 12 candidates interviewed read their answers from

this is a pandemic already and tool is needed to establish that interviewer is not cheating. prior to today’s tools at interviewer’s disposal this was not really a thing - today it is a huge thing
Check out Manticore Search for your use case. It's open-source, cost-effective, and doesn't require keeping everything in memory.

Key points:

- Columnar Storage: Efficiently handles large datasets on disk, ideal for terabyte-scale data. It's not enabled by default but can be set up easily with "CREATE TABLE ... ENGINE='columnar'".

- Faceted Search: Probably easier than anywhere else with just "FACET <field name>" added to your "SELECT" query.

- MySQL Protocol and SQL Support: If you’re familiar with SQL and MySQL, it's easier to get started compared to other search engines.
It's hopefully not too tricky - it can't be packaged as a crate using (say) debcargo, as the install path still requires CMake. The Debian experimental package changes are mostly about pulling in the right dependencies (including some internal mangling to support some policy choices).
waze is far, far superior at that

IMHO it's also closer to "dozens of us", than some critical mass of people strongly disagreeing.
I think both of you had it turned on from past OS installs - it's bundled under other search metadata, the config isn't new to 18. And "it's on and I don't remember agreeing" is absolutely not evidence. This is super common - nobody remembers what they enabled a year ago.
I'm dumbfounded that some people think high-skilled immigration is negative sum. It is so glaringly positive sum.

Another country invested 20 years to train a 130 IQ person from birth to tertiary educated.

And then the US gets to skim the top 0.1% off that expensive process without paying a dime.

These immigrants then generate consumption, scientific discoveries and found companies in their prime working years, which boosts the local country's power, economy, job opportunities and prosperity. They take 1 job but create 2, but the 2 is hidden behind layers of indirection (scientific discoveries, consumption, etc) so dumb people can't see the positive sum reality for what it is.

Anti-immigrant sentiment is a profound misunderstanding of the global value that these immigrants create, even if they locally compete for a specific job.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

There's a reason Eastern Europe and East Asia are struggling. There's a reason China and South Korea have probably peaked. There's a reason Hungary will continue to be a shit place to live. It isn't because of too much immigration. It's because of too little.

The US, since its founding, has been a country of immigrants. It's a necessary condition behind its prosperity and strength.
Let's hope that part of the analogy also applies.

It’s definitely not impossible. Pilots can get fixated. “That noise is so annoying! Never mind, gotta finish this landing.” It’s rare enough that I think it’s not the way to bet here, and there was probably another problem. But we’ll have to wait for more info to know for sure.
The idea that OpenAI had him killed is beyond ludicrous. Even if it were in any way realistic that OpenAI leadership somehow had access to hit men (!!), killing this guy would have been absolutely pointless as far as OpenAI's possible legal troubles go. The notion is not only outlandish, but also illogical.

He publicly stated OpenAI used copyright materials. What would killing him now possibly accomplish? Is there some legal statute I'm unaware of where a company can't be investigated if the original whistleblower is dead? It's not like he's the sole witness to a crime, and without his testimony the case disappears.
At this point it is still not worth considering AMD but may me this will change soon. I would look into semianalysis report
